The titles mean utterly nothing, at least not in the real world or this kaliedoscope called the internet. ETS is hosted free. That translates to a friend and supporter trying to make a living and graciously keeping Doug's valuable effort going. Our program is old, sometimes grumpy and has this capricious title feature that makes as much sense as military and job promotions. EVERYBODY is valued in our community, from the first time poster to long established members. Just remember The Wizard of Oz. The Scarecrow was smart, Lion brave and Tinman loving. They didn't need validation from some guy behind a curtain.

If you don't appreciate quaint, just participate in some of the other survival(ist) websites. They have a veritable BOB of names; PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER., lib, treehugger,Brownies etc etc etc. If it's really an issue, donations are still accepted.

You know, prior to this post I hadn't even noticed that I had a "title." Now that I do, and considering that I have been a member for about five years, I kinda feel like a FNG. But better that than a commieliberaltreehuggingBrownie...

Yeah, I was kinda wondering how I got to be an "enthusiast" with less than half the posts of that "newbie member", OldBaldGuy.

Survival people hostile to Tom Brown refer to his people as Brownies.

'Survival people hostile to Tom Brown refer to his people as Brownies.'
That shows how much I know.... I thought for sure you meant either baby Girl Scouts or little forest elves.
I am disconsolate. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

You're not alone Sue.
I was thinking either baby Girl Scouts or a derogatory term to describe someone kissing up to the boss.

Then do survival people refer to hostile Tom Green fans as "Greenie Meanies"?
